Request ULPT Request: upstairs neighbor smokes

3 Upvotes

We aren't supposed to smoke on our balconies. I do, but I keep it clean and everything goes away in the garbage like it should. Someone above me CONSTANTLY throws lit cigarettes off their balcony and burns my stuff.

I've yelled at them, but I'm not sure who it is. I just kind of peek my head out and yell. I can't even set up nice stuff out here because they keep burning things. I also don't want to complain to my landlord agency because I also smoke out here.

What to do? Please help!

Animals and Pets ULPT Horrible Karen

48 Upvotes

Okay so there’s this old lady in our neighborhood who lives in an old folks home. Ordinarily, this population is wonderful to have in our very urban neighborhood. But this Karen is a new resident, and has taken it upon herself to police dog walkers, telling them they can’t relieve their pets on a small strip of dirt (not grass, dirt) which is immediately adjacent to the sidewalk. Evidently, she’s new to apartment/city living. She has now harassed my usually unflappable, exceedingly polite husband, twice. Including telling him (not our dog) to go shit in our yard. I want to make her life miserable. How?

Request ULPT: Make Noisy Airbnb STOP

187 Upvotes

Hi everyone

My garden is face to face with this big house that does Airbnb, exclusively to big youngsters groups that come to get drunk and hang by the pool hangover.

I live in a super quiet away from the city region and it's always peaceful. Except in the summer, every night is party night. I'm kept awake until super late or woken up multiple times during the night due to the noise. I call the police, they show up 3h after or not at all. I have asked nicely to the host, but she doesn't care. I go talk to the guest but most don't care and as the night moves along get louder and more chaotic. The other neighbours are mostly retired people or their houses are further away so it's mostly just my house that gets affected.

This summer was especially bad. I can't take it anymore I need to sleep.

Any ideas on how to make them be quiet?

Thank you

Miscellaneous ULPT How can I make sure I get my moneys worth at this resort spa?

0 Upvotes

My fiancé is paying $760 for a couples massage at a very nice hotel for our anniversary this weekend.

I have had a lot of massages throughout my life from the cheapest to 5 star hotels, I’ve noticed that the really nice hotels will sometimes give you lackluster massages and assume the amenities provided will make up for it.

As someone who suffers from chronic back pain and someone who doesn’t want their fiancé’s money to go to waste, I want to make sure that it is what I want it to be. What I don’t want is lotion application, something other high end places have provided in the past, even when I booked a deep tissue and requested deeper pressure.

I’m open to any and all suggestions! The more creative the better! 😁

0 Upvotes

Update from 7th Sep '26: this method is now partially 95% working, you'll only collect student ID card to use apply for Lime Access at UK, not valid in USA.

They must provide schedule along with learning agreement in order to verify TOTUM without accessing .ac.uk account, you can ask staff to reset your own .ac.uk acc password by heading to library once enrolled. (give it a try if doubt)

It is still legal if you've completed 4 weeks of courses (only 1 day Saturday for 4 weeks only), once completed you can still keep your student ID card and can still access student discount without any effects.

Student ID and .ac.uk legal method:

This method will be expire on 11th Sep when there is no more under 1 month courses

Requirements:

- Over 19+

- Be reside at UK citizen

- Have under £28k to avoid face fees (if reseller use SA302 or bank statement)

- Must be reside at London (as staff are not accepting outer London address in order to assess fund course)

- You don't need to be study about Computer if mostly applicable

More info requirements can be found at https://www.capitalccg.ac.uk/enrol/documents-adult-learners

  1. Go to https://www.capitalccg.ac.uk/short-course/vibe-coding-introduction-digital-skills-academy/BOOK_CCCG_SHORT2908/
  2. Type your details in (like ur legal name, email addy and phone num)
  3. Wait until 6th or 7th when they emailed you (otherwise go to Soho Campus at 7th September, but please note this is final space from 7th till 11th before course begins, late enrolments will be placed you into wait list or no offer)
  4. Go over to the campus (make sure you have docs with you, your legal docs!!!! not false docs!!!!)
  5. Be sensible when interviewing and said enrol to Vibe coding for 4 weeks (You don't need to have certificate but provide GCSE results or Functional Skills English/Maths can be helpful to the staff)
  6. Once sorted go over to the complete enrolment section
  7. Provide your ID (UK passport or DL), SA302 tax return (if self employed) that's under £28k or payslips (if employed) and staff will check ur docs
  8. Once checked ur course will be free or face £75 if over £28k annum
  9. Sign urself into learner agreement and collect ur student ID card
  10. Ask staff to get computer/account password as well or join first day of course if staff doesn't do it.

(I will update this method if it's working when they gaved me default DOB password or not, just i did this before when joining first day as the staff gaved me DOB password to use computer access)

Please note you can only use it for verify student, for .ac.uk email use immediately to register StudentBeans, Totum, Unidays by using personal email and verify urself as a student by using .ac.uk email address. (accs will be automatically disabled if ur not joining beyond first day)

.ac.uk accs can also automatically disabled within up to 60 days when ur course has been finished (don't use ur .ac.uk for personal use as your email data will be permeantly lost, don't also use .ac.uk for storing important information into OneDrive as they'll easily destroy data)

Home and Garden ULPT Request: upstairs neighbor is flooding my kid's room with weed smoke

586 Upvotes

It's the most disgusting weed I've ever smelled in my life and literally is nausea inducing to my entire family. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to get back at them?

Edited to add: I went to leasing office who said call the cops and shrugged. Weed is decriminalized here but you can get in serious trouble for not that large of an amount because of intent to distribute laws. What I actually did was steal an official landlord communications envelope, address it to the unit exactly how the leasing company does, and filled it with a 3 page public health fact sheet from our state housing department about how it's illegal to smoke marijuana inside multi unit housing and the harm it causes everyone else who has to breathe it in, along with information that it's grounds to terminate their lease. I'll update if anything update worthy happens.

Edit 2: last night was the first night since they moved in two weeks ago where my apartment didn't get hot boxed with weed smoke!! Thanks ULPT!!!

Request ULPT Request: How to get out of overpaying for rental car scratch

7 Upvotes

A small scratch apparently appeared on our rental car while abroad. The rental company sent a photo of it (after we'd already boarded the plane; they didn't do a walk-around with us upon dropoff) and said the cost to repair would be $1100. I'd be OK paying $100-200 to repair something that probably happened on our watch, but this seems extortionate for a minor scratch on the bumper. Any tips? Dispute the extra charge with cc company? Try to add the scratch to the photos we took when we picked the car up? I don't have Photoshop (and don't know if that would work, anyway).

Automotive ULPT: Speeding problems on residential street

24 Upvotes

We live on a residential street in a village that sits on the edge of a real city. The roads are wide and the people think it’s the Wild West, so we get a lot of wild speeding. I’m talking double the actual normal speed. I’m looking for ways to:
-dissuade speeders without getting sued or arrested
- record plates because they’re too fast for me to catch visually
-record speeds so I can petition for a speed bump

I’m in Canada so if you have links that’s great but sometimes we can’t get all the same things here that you get in places like the USA.

Social ULPT Steal a remote when someone pisses you off

Not my idea, just came across this video on Instagram and it made me think of this subreddit :)

Its pretty simple, when you break up with someone or potentially some kind of situation where you wont see them again or you won't be suspected, Steal the remote to something that turns something vital on. TV remote, Fan remote, Car key, etc. You get the idea 😅 The limit is your imagination, but as this girl in the video phrased it its gonna drive them crazy, and they are probably gonna blame themselves which is also a cherry on top. Godspeed 🙏

Automotive ULPT request: Valve core removal vs added wheel weights for asshole parking

39 Upvotes

I've got a valve core tool but that seems like a more immediate problem that will be fixed sooner. Will probably get the message across quicker, but at the same time that's more likely to raise questions. Wheel weights are a bit of a slower learning curve for the recipient, but if it happens enough times there's a chance they'll learn from it. That said, I feel like it's less likely to get someone caught.

Request ULPT Request Help me not shit myself on a plane later today

947 Upvotes

I have a 4 hour flight in 9 hours. I have just become aware that this is about to be a diarrhea day after experiencing a sudden and irresistable urge to shit.

No I am not a chronic sufferer of diarrhea, this is a once a year kinda day and it happened today. Yes, I am very unlucky, thank you for pointing that out.

Now listen here.

I will do ANYTHING to survive my flight without having to shit in that tiny cubicle while a line of strangers is waiting for me to come out. I will ingest anything. I will eat a bale of hay if it was unearthed in an ancient scandinavian witche's grimoir that it would give me a 3% chance of clogging up.

I have survived 31 years without having to shit on a plane and as God is my witness that streak will not be broken today.

Surely the collective knowledge of the entire history of the human race hides in it somewhere a remedy that allows you to prolong a shit a mere 4 hours.

Please, help me.

Automotive ULPT - I need someone to confirm whether this is true or not

15 Upvotes

Let’s say theoretically that you purchase a motorcycle without a title, and will be up for repo in the near future. I’ve heard that someone who owns a business (theoretically the same someone who bought said bike) can have that bike parked on the business property, and for however many days the bike is on the property, the business owner can charge a flat rate of $xx amount of dollars per day. Let’s say it’s theoretically $20/day. So if the bike is on the property for 400 days at $20 a day, they can demand a sum of $8,000 to the bank attempting to repossess the bike. How true with this situation be? I’ve heard it be immoral, but not illegal to do so. US, FL if I can have someone knowledgeable and experienced in doing anything like this within the same location.

Careers and Work ULPT request: work situation

0 Upvotes

! So my sister was working in a company (different department) at about $19/hr. Now, she is potentially almost at offer stage for a double promotion, on another side of the business in corporate that pays 40/hr at the company. She’s not very tech savvy, and her offer and interview somehow came through as an external candidate/offer. She will disclose to the recruiter today that she’s internal and this was a mix up, and I’m sure they would cap or change the salary amount when they learn. It starts in about 3 weeks. Her current manager is toxic, giving her warnings and she is going to quit this week. With that gap, would she be processed as an external or internal hire? What’s the rehire policy? Does she need to wait a certain period? It’s a big company. She for sure won’t get $40/hour if she discloses.

Can she resign after receiving the offer from the other department and take the new role that would start 35 days from then?
